Like a wounded cockroach, the city died
The sunset cracked, it was time
The fallen dreamland of suburbia
Obsolete and purified

Children of the dark star, children of the grave
Moonless and crimson, eyes of the exodus
Oh child you are the butterfly, live and die

Caravan of corpses, endless night
Hypnotic fiery demon in the sky
Sinister and red, oh murder moon
We're the nameless forever lost, never to bloom

Children of the dark star, children of the grave
Moonless and crimson, eyes of the exodus
Oh child you are the butterfly, you live and you die

And I wonder who you are?

Ooh black butterfly, I see your glow, in the everflow
Oh you ghosts in the evening sky, oh you live and you die!

Children of the dark star, children of the grave
Moonless and crimson, eyes of the exodus
Oh child you are the butterfly, in the setting sun
